On Tuesday night in NYC, Purple Daily was awarded a national Marconi for podcast of the year! Eight years ago, @SKORNorth was an idea on a whiteboard. How could we build a series of shows for Minnesota sports fans that would be sustainable in a digital world? Pretty cool to see how much you all, the fiercely passionate audience and fans, have supported this. Thanks to everyone who is part of our Purple Daily and SKOR North communities. We appreciate you to no end. Shout out to our incredible and relentless SKOR North & Hubbard team. Innovators and great humans. To @jzulgad and @DexsTweets specifically, I love being in the trenches with you both every day on Purple Daily. Now — or someday, before we die — it’s the Vikings’ turn… 👀
